They are not from Fedora Core 2, but compiled in 1997. Did you mounted any network folder on /usr/local? /usr/local/bin is in the standard search PATH for executables before /usr/bin, so when you've got non-working non-FC2 executables in /usr/local, all that will fail. Delete them, unmount /usr/local, undo whatever you did to put them there. -- Fedora Core release 2 (Tettnang) - Linux 2.6.7-1.494.2.2 loadavg: 1.10 1.05 1.01
